FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How often are the real-time train positions updated?

It depends on the service: Cercanías positions (rt_vehicle_positions_cercanias) update every 20 seconds, while Long Distance trains (rt_vehicle_positions_ld) update every 15 minutes.

Can I check for delays or platform changes for a specific trip?

Yes. Use rt_trip_updates_cercanias or rt_trip_updates_ld to get live information on delays, cancellations, and platform assignments across the network.

Where can I find the static GTFS files for schedules?

You can use the get_static_datasets tool. It returns direct download URLs for GTFS schedule packages and CSV/XLSX lists of all Renfe stations.

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
